Captop | Local First Screenshot Manager

About

Hey — I'm the solo dev behind Captop, a screenshot organizer I built after a year of losing research I'd carefully collected in screenshots I could never find again.The idea: instead of a folder full of cryptically named PNG files, you organize screenshots into Workbooks (projects), Folders (topics/sources), with Tags that work across everything and Notes for per-screenshot context.I made a deliberate call to keep everything local — IndexedDB storage, no server, no uploads. Partly because I was screenshotting sensitive things (work docs, API keys, private research) and didn't want them in the cloud. Partly because it makes the app more honest — you own your data completely.Free: 100 screenshots, all features. Basic: $30/yr (500). Pro: $40/yr (unlimited).Chrome extension for capture, web app for organization.Stage: live and shipping, ~50 users, starting to actually tell people it exists.looking for honest feedback from other indie builders — what would make you try it or skip it?
